Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Intubating LMA  After induction of general anaesthesia, intubating LMA of size #3 or #4 will be inserted depending on the weight of the patient and checked for bilateral air entry. After confirming bilateral air entry a flexible fiberoptic scope will be used to visualize the position of vocal cords and the patients will be intubated using 7mm ID flexometallic tube. Following which the patient will again be checked for bilateral air entry. 
Comparator Agent  LMA protector  After induction of general anaesthesia, LMA protector size #3 or #4 will be inserted depending on the weight of the patient and checked for bilateral air entry. After confirming bilateral air entry a flexible fiberoptic scope will be used to visualize the position of vocal cords and the patients will be intubated using 7mm ID flexometallic tube. Following which bilateral airentry will be confirmed.

Brief Summary   Airway management is crucial during general anesthesia and emergencies, with difficult intubation rates ranging from 0.05% to 18%. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are effective alternatives, offering high success rates for blind insertions and ease of use without extensive training. Fiberoptic-guided tracheal intubation improves success compared to blind techniques, requiring clear visibility of the glottic aperture through the SAD. However, limited studies compare SADs for fiberoptic intubation, highlighting the need for further research.
